The Sixty-Eighth Congress meets with a nominal Republican edge but deep rifts.

Denton postoffice gears up for heaviest Christmas business with new window markers and a full mail schedule. Postmaster Samuel G Nuttle urges early mailing, complete postage, clear addresses, sender’s name and address, and correct labeling on parcels to avoid letter-rate charges. Do not seal parcels unless labeled, insure valuables, and avoid inserting letters with parcels.
The article explains mailing practices including fourth class parcel handling with envelopes attached to parcels, and that money or valuables should be registered. It notes special delivery does not add protection, money orders offer safe sending with duplicates if lost, unregistered money can be stolen with no reimbursement, and dead letter office handling for unreturned or valueless letters. It advises return cards on envelopes, postmaster supply, forwarding safeguards, and renting post office boxes if delivery is late. It emphasizes providing complete old addresses for forwarding orders to reach the proper employee.
